Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)

We are using it as a managed service for our Postgres database management. It is easy to use, maintain, and configure, with no administration headache, logging and monitoring come out of the box. It also supports backups and recovery. It has all the security considerations that we need for production-scale database.
  • security
  • Backup and recovery
  • Monitoring and logging
  • Scalability
  • Hight availability
  • Extensions and Plugins
  • Maintenance Windows
  • Lot's of advance configurations
  • lower cost for IT infrastructure
  • High productivity
  • Ease of use
As most of our infra is on AWS it is good that we use the same service provider as we want all of our infra to be in a single service provider for ease of maintaining. also, other services target very specific database engines vs RDS comes with lots of options which is beneficial.

If you want managed service then it is the best use case for you. You get lots of things out of the box compared to managing you data base your yourself. For people who are actual DB admins and want to control everything on their own or need on-premises deployment should not go for this service.
